Where do your cats find to have a kip

I found my cat this morning curled up fast asleep in the bathroom on the bath seat.

On a Chair or Bed,,,my other cat used to curl up upstairs in our hallway opposite the very warm airing cupboard!!!. Ha ha ha . Bubbles ( my cat now) will get in the airing cupboard if she can sneak in unseen but i shut the door quicker now otherwise she will not get out LOL.

It used to be in Imogens cot ....... now she's quiet happy to sleep next to it on the sofa in her room given the chance 🙂

I have always told anyone who has asked, it is a waste of money buying a cat bed.

They will sleep anywhere they want to, except the cat bed of course.

A few days ago I found her asleep in the laundry basket.

"Cats sleep anywhere, any table , any chair "....poem by Eleanor Farjeon.....it goes on to list a huge variety of places that cats will sleep.

The poem was always enjoyed by the children when I used to teach as it is so true of cats .....

[mustard-tree]

Just found the poem

Cats sleep, anywhere,
Any table, any chair
Top of piano, window-ledge,
In the middle, on the edge,
Open drawer, empty shoe,
Anybody's lap will do,
Fitted in a cardboard box,
In the cupboard, with your frocks-
Anywhere! They don't care!
Cats sleep anywhere.

I stayed round my friend Viktorias a while back and unbeknown to me her cat had gone to sleep under my bed.  About 2am I feel the mattress getting pushed up from underneath me, then up and down again.  Omg nearly had heart failure!  Lay there petrified thinking poltergeist or similar.  Then the cat calmly appeared

lol! Himself had a sister cat, and she would sleep in our bathroom sink if she could! she wasn't even our cat!!!

Himself would sleep in my laptop case and I once found him asleep in the toy cot with the teddy bears

I was about to turn in when my wife asked me to get one of our two cats off the bed.  I told her I had, to which she insisted there was a cat on the bed.  How odd, I thought.  I reached down and sure enough there was a cat -the only thing was - it wasn't ours!    I had to put on my clothes again and carry this animal all the way back downstairs, open the back door and put it out, and then shut the cat flap!  It was quite reluctant to go, as well.  It miowed and then walked off.  Most cats are territorial but strangely enough not my two - they used to let other cats into the house when it was cold or wet.  I never did work out who it belonged to but is was very well looked after, and had a lovely nature.  It always slept in my glashouse, flattening my tomato plants!  It was jet black.

Why did you have to get dressed just to put the cat out Fred?

I was down to my pants, and a cat has claws!  Luckily this thing had never used them.  If a cat sinks it's claws into your bare skin, you know all about it.   I used to grit my teeth as my cat used to sit on my lap but took ten minutes to settle down, kneading tou.  Her claws used to dig into my legs.

Mine used to sleep on the chair under the table, so she couldn't be seen, We had one that used to sleep on top of the old gas fire, lord only knows how she didn't catch fire. (yes it was on).   We bought a bed that fits over the radiator made of sheepskin, was she interested no chance.  We had a flat roofed shed that had a Montana clematis growing up the side and she would jump onto the roof and then on to the clematis which was a bit wild and woolly, she would be most indignant if we cut it down in the winter.

fair enough Fred  )))cats claws(((
we've had our latest cat 10mth almost & she has never ever shown her claws, not even towards Imogen who torments & kisses her constantly

Years ago I read in the paper about a bloke whose grandfather used to mysteriously stop at around 1a.m. on a regular basis.  Despite checking it over, the shop where he bought it from could find no fault with it.  Curiosity got the better of him, and had he not seen it with his own eyes he would never have believed the reason - his cat would hook open the door and deliberately give the pendulum one mighty belt with it's paw to stop the clock.  It would then get back on the settee and go back to sleep - in peace!

[rose2008-2008]

Ha ha LOL FRED!!!.. Them claws are painful!!!.

[chickengrandma-2008]

What a strange grandfather.

They are exceedingly clever animals, though.  We had a hamster at the time - it started off in it's own cage then we used to let it out to run about a bit.  In the end it had the full run of the library to itself and built a nest underneath one of the bookshelves which we used to renew every three or four days, then one day we couldn't find it.  We completely emptied the room to no avail and assumed it had got out through a small hole in the floorboards..  At that moment one of our cats came up and went straight to the fire, sniffed round the back a couple of times and then cuffed my wife's leg to draw her attention.  She sniffed the fire again, looked up and then miowed.  Sure enough, that was where it was.  Had we turned on the fire, that would have been the end.  Clever **bleep**.   He only lived for about two-and-a-half years because we overfed him not realising, but had a good life, living in total  freedom, before going to that great grannery in the sky.  People get so attached to their animals.  

Slightly off-topic a work colleague told me he came home to find his wife and daughter bawling their eyes out.  Deeply concerned he asked what was up.  Both in unision, they came out with it.

"It's Lassie - she came home!  Waa!"

"Yes, my dear.  I'll put the kettle on..."  He replied, shaking his head.

As close to the radiator as he can!

[5129frederick]

(Roll eyes)  Very clever.  

[5129frederick]

OOPS!   I've come out with a naughty word according the eBay's "clever" computer!  OK, let's try again: Clever PUDDY for finding my hamster.  Pathetic, isn't it
